[clamav-users] How to determine virus database version from behind proxy?

[Richard Graham]

There are several DOH severs.

You could also try:

curl -H 'accept: application/dns-json' '
https://dns.google.com/resolve?name=current.cvd.clamav.net&type=A'


... or even just:


curl 'https://dns.google.com/resolve?name=current.cvd.clamav.net&type=A'
